Australia Road Trip. Day 15: Broken Hill to Mildura

It was an easy drive today, only three and a half hours. I originally planned to drive to the Gold Coast over a couple of days; however we both over so driving now, that we could only handle short drives now.

For the first half of the trip the scenery doesn’t change much from what we have seen for the last six or seven days (pictured below).




Then, after about an hour, we see some trees, it's great to see lots of trees.




We checked into our motel, the Tropical Islander Resort, and went to Mildura Centro Shopping Centre. Fans of the TV show, Kath and Kim, might recognize a Kath Day-Knight look alike in this picture below.


We drove the Tourist Drive around Red Cliffs, an area containing many vineyards. Mildura is of course on the mighty Murray River (pictured below).


Tomorrow, we are off to Wagga Wagga, the final destination, before heading home from our Australian Road Trip.
